I thought I knew just about all of Busby Berkeley's work, but this was new to me. Compared to his later numbers, especially the Gold Diggers series, this is a bit sloppy. But, this was early days. Many thanks for this.
Multiple small glittery model airplanes! Plus, the names of three notable early aviators spelled out (Byrd, Hawks, Lindy). Yep, pretty crazy. And no, that's not a Nazi influence. Hitler had not taken over Germany yet when this film was made. The Nazis adapted existing military garb for their uses; they didn't invent it.
@hebneh Adapted existing military garb? They gained power including over the armed forces, they'd have hardly redesigned military clothing on having achieved that goal. Anyhow - the uniforms in this vid remind me of some modern Highway Patrol ones:-)
Very similar uniforms to the Italian airmen of the period.......but German?..well off the mark, the German uniforms were later, and would have been the dress versions.
well I had largely spoken with Busby in 1975 in Madrid and he was resent of Hollywood moguls and gives me the impression of a right winger and kkk simpathizer he said Ulysses Grant or Teddy Roosvelt much beter than Roosvelt and all that jews
